From Esq. to Owner (Powered by Atticus)

This week on The Leid Back Life Podcast I sat down with Morris Lilienthal to talk about how being an intentional parent directly shapes the way you lead, hire, and grow your business.

What we cover in this episode

✅ Building a business that reflects your family values

✅ The habits great parents and great leaders share

✅ Why patience and presence matter more than tactics

In this episode of The Lei’d Back Life, I’m joined by Matt Burke to talk about using KPIs as a tool for better problem solving in both business and real life.
Most people think KPIs are just numbers for spreadsheets. Matt shows how they can actually become clarity tools. When you track the right data, you stop guessing and start making decisions that move the needle in a meaningful way.

We get into:
✅ How to identify which metrics actually matter
✅ Why tracking less data can create more clarity
✅ How KPIs help reduce stress and emotional decision making
✅ Using simple measurement to invest your time, money, and energy more intentionally
✅ Applying the same approach to relationships, health, and personal life design

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by too many priorities or stuck solving the same problems again and again, this conversation will help you focus on what actually matters.
